The looneytarian believes your rights are already there "naturally"
and it's just the actions of evil statists who take away your rights.
Rights don't come from inaction. Rights come from eternal vigilence.

The extreme right has the same belief.

While you were wasting your time thinking of that and typing it into the
infinite black hole of the 'net, your natural right to breathe has been
nationalized. Welcome to the Air Tax.

American history goes on the list.
This "looneytarian" belief is the foundation for the United States and its
system of government. I suppose it was considered looney when we declared
our independence.

The ability to exercise rights can be lost from inaction.

If rights exist without laws (and gummints to enforce them) then
there's no point in having a gummint. This has been clearly
demonstrated in Somalia, where you have the right to pay every warlord
along the highway whatever they ask.

You need to spend some time investigating the history of that concept,
Bret. Not to mention its moral foundations. You might begin with Kant's
*Science of Right*.

I don't believe in rights. Might doesn't make right but it sure as hell
makes what is, eh?

If you weren't ashamed of your nonsense you wouldn't be hiding behind
a handle.

Rights probably result from a slight instinctual bias, neural
structures that won't let go or always somehow come back,, which cause
animals to recognize each other treat each other in particular ways;
Altruistic behaviour is common throughout the animal kingdom,
particularly in species with complex social structures. For example,
vampire bats regularly regurgitate blood and donate it to other
